I'll admit that, at first, I was concerned that this wasn't going to be a fun trip. I was worried that this was going to be a couple of hours with some out-of-work photographer who catered to folks with no experience and nothing but point-and-shoots. He'd probably teach them the proper way to hold their cameras (he did) and maybe speak a little bit about composition (he did that, also), but I was happily surprised to find out that he was able to recognize that I was a photographer with a bit more experience, and give me some information that I had never heard before!
The tour took us to a bunch of places, starting in front of The White House, and ending up at The Marine Corp monument (Which was great to see, as I'd never been there before). We visited the major War-related monuments, all the while having our instructor teach us the proper way to capture each scene from the composition, to the white balance and technique.
E. David Luria (David) has been a photographer for a LONG time, and it showed in his presentation and ability to communicate with everyone in the group. I never once found myself thinking that the trip was boring, and that I wasn't going to learn anything, and before I knew it, our time was up.
My wife and I are greatly looking forward to booking his group in the Baltimore area, as we found out on our trip that they run "Safaris" up here as well. If it was half as good as David's trip, it's sure to be a great time. If you've got a day to walk around your city, I would highly recommend these folks. And if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment after the gallery from our trip!
